Kere's garments were based on cotton
fabric which he designed in a
style he says was influenced by the
work of artist Jackson Pollock. His collection "For Paint's Sake" was
presented as part of the student section of the
show, which was
sponsored by Cotton Australia. His
work was presented along with that
of eleven other students, nine from Australian Universities and two from
New Zealand.
The award-winning student receives
a grant offered through the
Australian Fashion Foundation for
presenting the work in cotton. The
Cotton Store in Darling Harbor then offers the student the opportunity
to become the feature designer at
their retail outlet.
Kere's collection represents his interest
in the originality of his fabric design
and several garments in the collection
feature denim on which he has splashed
washable, ironable acrylic paint. Here's
designs include a snake PVC jacket,
hot pants and croc mules, all aimed at
producing a sexy menswear collection.
Malia's work also won her an overseas
trip - hers to the Versace headquarters
in Milan where she is visiting design
studios and the latest season's shows.
Malia's award was sponsored by Saks
who have liaised with Versace in setting up the trip of a lifetime
for the winner. Students applied for the scholarship with a portfolio of
work which was judged by Francis
Hooper from World. The scholarship
gives students a unique opportunity to travel and to become involved
with an international design house.
